Hi Binoy:
there is a new paper on the many small methods issue and many
indirect operation calls in C++ programs (versus C programs).
Of course, this is all related to how common traversals are
in practical applications.
My claim is that the many small methods and indirect calls are often little
traversal methods. So far, nobody has objected to this claim.
Therefore, please can you summarize the following paper for our seminar:
@ARTICLE{calder:samll-methods,
AUTHOR = "B. Calder and D. Grunwald and B. Zorn",
TITLE = "Quantifying Behavioral Differences Between C and C++",
JOURNAL = "Journal of Programming Languages",
YEAR = 1994,
PAGES = "313-351",
MONTH = "",
VOLUME = 2,
NUMBER =
}

Note: the above paper seems to reinforce what is in:
@string{ieee-se = "IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering"}
@ARTICLE{wilde-etal:maint-support,
AUTHOR = "Norman Wilde and Ross Huitt",
TITLE = "Maintenance Support for Object-Oriented Programs",
JOURNAL = ieee-se,
YEAR = "1992",
MONTH = "December",
PAGES = "1038-1044",
volume = "18",
number = "12"
